i arrived last friday and have been here for just over a week, so, i thought i'd look back at the last week or so of being here at immanuel lutheran church in kansas city, missouri (all of two or so blocks from kansas city, kansas).
the week started with a bang.
during early worship on sunday the power went out, not to come on again until our reception of new members at the beginning of late worship (quite the exciting start).
monday involved a press rally with congressman cleaver at the local grocery store and a visit from a fellow yagm and her family passing through to another fellow yagm's wedding.
tuesday was full of meetings: worship planning, staff, and then pastors' text study in the afternoon.
wednesday the newsletter folders came and while folding, i was jokingly informed that they "run this place" :) followed by a meeting with a group of women clergy and a hospital visit.
thursday consisted of supervision, lunch with a parishioner, and a meeting with clergy for communities creating opportunity planning an event (also known, in community organizing circles as an action, i believe).
and then friday the bulletin folders came (also known, on other days as newsletter folders) and in the afternoon i had time to get stuff done i needed to get done followed by a wedding rehearsal for the couple who became new members last sunday and then the wedding itself on saturday.
as you can probably tell, by thursday, i had to ask my supervisor when she has time to write her sermons! life has been quite busy
